ANA Map will no longer be updated
This version won’t be updated anymore. You can switch to the new RPG Map 2 which gets rid of Flash and implements many features requested by users. The source code of the original ANA Map is available on GitHub.
About the old Flash version
IMPORTANT : you need a Flash Player for this version to work. So far it has been tested on Firefox 59 and Chrome. For Chrome, you may need to click this link for it to work and choose “Allow” when asked to run flash. If nothing shows, there might be an issue with the Flash player: you should check if it’s enabled and not blocked by any third party extension.
For the last 20 years, I’ve been playing tabletop RPGs with friends on a very regular basis. I’ve spent a huge amount of time writing scenarii and missions. I did it with traditional pen & papers at first, and with Google Docs afterwards.
Problem is: it’s ok to write missions with Google Docs, until it comes to drawing the map of, say, a dungeon in Dungeon & Dragons, or a haunted house in Call of Cthulhu. Most of the dedicated tools are either:
- Old: like with a Win95 interface with almost zero attention to ergonomic
- Bloated: the tools allows EVERY single thing related to drawing a map, and therefore, is too complicated for my simple needs.
- Ugly: the tool uses lots of terrible textures where I just want to draw walls and doors.
For some times now, I’ve been using Photoshop to paint my maps. But let’s face it. It’s a great tool, but it has not been designed for that purpose. And it’s not free.
So I’ve decided to work on my own tool, with the sacred KiSS principle in mind (Keep it Short & Simple).
I'm having issues exporting it into a PNG. It just keeps freezing whenever I try to do it. Otherwise it's great.
This is fantastic! If you're open to suggestions, a water asset would be great, it's the only thing this seems to be missing.
If you want to make map with other people in real time you should try hextml.playest.net
Have fun :)
Excellent ! Juste ce qu'il faut (et en me^me temps tout c qu'il faut) pour construire de bonnes cartes pour nos donjons :) !
Merci beaucoup !
Awesome but I find a bug
BUG: When you use the arrows to move de map to right (only right) when you use the arrows again to return to the first point all Room/walls are removed.
This is epic.
If you find rotating doesn't work. Save it, reload, and you are back in business. :)
I am going to be using this so much.
it doesnt want to work
loved it, just wish i could put some special characters such as ´ and ~, since my language uses it alot. but overall it's a simple and useful tool. thank you very much!
More assets please ! Like different kind of walls, different kind of trees, water, etc.
Awesome!! This is just what I needed, simple but effective. Is there any way to see more of the map at a time? I mean, seen more "pixels" in screen.
need*
Thank you!
Simple and perfect.
Just what i nerd!
Thank you very much for this simple but I really like the minimalist flair. It is very easy, functional, and clean but still has style. kudos.
A nice pond/lake/water texture would be useful
Un outile pratique, simple. Un plaisir de faire un petit plan de construction et de le partager a ses colegues. Des plans facilement compréensible. Un plaisir, merci beaucoup!
Absolutely fantastic! It would be great if you could add some other texture!
Fantastic website and map-creating tool. I've been playing with it all night and have created several great maps for my roleplays. Only thing I'd add is some kind of fence and maybe a water tile. Love it!
Semplicemente perfetto! GRAZIE!
Brilliant. Served my needs perfectly. Thanks dude
Note: You can do everything from 2D map 90° view to plataform stage (I myself did it arround 10 misc maps). If you have another softaware like 'paint tool', you can simple save PNG and put pixelart or textures in overlayer.
